I loved social media and I still do love them because they help me connect with loved ones, friends, colleagues and relations. It also helps us to meet new people and connect with people.
I joined Facebook in the year 2006 because I wanted to be with my friends and relations even when they are absent. I loved facebook, I wanted to be with those I loved. When twitter arrived, I joined around 2009 and started tweeting. I never liked twitter in any way. Soon other media came out which includes Instagram, Snapchat, Esskimi and a whole lot of them.
Where Did Other Social Media Get It Wrong
Although people loved them and used them a lot, these social media also had a way of targeting users with ads to gain a lot of data on profiles as well. They were only giving us a medium to hangout and thereby ripping a whole lot of people with their high data usage. These social media were selling our data and information to make themselves rich and yet they left us unturned.
Then Steemit Came
Steemit came with a whole lot of bombs to blow of these social media. Steemit gave the first shocker, which was a reward system, then another shocker which was NO ADS, then more which came from a decentralized community. Steemit came with something more than a hangout room, steemit came as a community that is not separated by borders or oceans. Steemit brought education; yes, steemit has helped a lot of people learn a lot of things from cryptocurrency to science, philosophy and so on. Rewarding quality content is the bomb and giving people the avenue to give something is the most amazing.
I can categorically say it that steemit has proven to be a game changer both on the blockchain and in the social media industry.
